Cara Delevingne Gushes Over Taylor Swift’s ‘Brilliant’ ‘You Need to Calm Down

Cara Delevingne thinks Taylor Swift is “incredible” for her just-released “You Need to Calm Down” music video and recent public support for LGTBQ rights.

“I cried and I’ve been texting her all day,” Delevingne told Variety of watching her good friend’s latest clip.

Variety spoke to the actress and model on the red carpet before she accepted the Hero Award at the TrevorLIVE New York gala at Cipriani Wall Street. Delevingne, who identifies as queer, was honored for her commitment to supporting the organization as they work to end suicide among LGBTQ youth.

“[Taylor] is incredible. I think what she’s doing is brilliant. It’s just the beginning,” said Delevingne, who appeared in Swift’s celebrity-filled “Bad Blood” video in 2015. “I think most of those people who are in support just don’t realize how important it is to…say it out loud.”

Swift has been widely praised for speaking her mind on social issues in recent months and the new song includes lyrics like “Why are you mad, when you could be GLAAD?” The video closes with the message: “Let’s show our pride by demanding that, on a national level, our laws truly treat all of our citizens equally.
